We contribute to a vibrant ecosystem

We believe that working together with others brings the best value for everyone involved in learning, teaching and performing music.

We're lucky to have great partners collaborating with us on everything from developing musical leadership and promoting accessibility to sharing resources and expertise. They help us provide training, contribute to our research and, like us, champion music learning in all its forms. The support we give comes in many forms, including scholarships, project funding and sponsorships, such as our annual International Sponsorship Fund.

We help to ensure that musicians are equipped with the confidence and skills to convey their artistic ideas and direct ensembles, so that they're ready to inspire and nurture the next generation of musicians. We've worked with Southbank Sinfonia on their audience-engagement programme, and we continue to support the Royal Philharmonic Society's Women Conductors programme.

Music provides opportunities to collaborate and communicate, experiment and enjoy, at all stages and in all styles. To highlight this, we seek to work more with organisations that reach beyond classical repertoire and have a focus on inclusivity and diversity. We’re excited to be a founding sponsor of The National Open Youth Orchestra, that collaborates with cutting-edge composers to create exciting new music for a diverse range of musicians and instruments and to sponsor Tinderbox whose mission is to combine high-quality experimental work with a drive to be inclusive, and create original, exciting works.
